I thought it might be interesting to highlight this particular aspect of the Choice card:
so basically, let us apply to Choice to the Significators:
Significator of the Mind: Hierophant
Significator of the Body: Hanged Man
Significator of the Spirit: SUN
applying the Choice here is "greatly helpful in sharpening the basic view"
for the Hierophant, teach/learning can be used to liberate (knowledge that reveals the Creator in each of us), or can be used negatively, to control and hide information that may be useful to us.
for the Hanged Man, the discipline of the body can be one that treats the body kindly, and accepts it, works with it, or it can be negative in that one controls the bodily functions, and abuses others' bodies.
for the Sun, this represents the way one uses spiritual light. For positive this is reflection and sharing of light, for the negative, this is absorption of others' light.
by contrasting the two paths, one is not trying to denigrate the one or the other, but it can actually serve the purpose of revealing more detail about each. Much like increasingly the "contrast level" of a black and white picture. The goal is greater understanding and acceptance of Unity.
Quote:89.26 Questioner: All right; I’ll have to do that. Ra stated that a major breakthrough was made when proper emphasis was put on Arcanum Twenty-Two. This didn’t happen until Ra had completed third density. I assume from this that Ra, being polarized positively, probably had some of the same difficulty that occurred prior to the veil in that the negative polarity was not appreciated. That’s a guess. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In one way it is precisely correct. Our harvest was overwhelmingly positive and our appreciation of those which were negative was relatively uninformed. However, we were intending to suggest that in the use of the system known to you as the tarot for advancing the spiritual evolution of the self a proper understanding, if we may use this misnomer, of Archetype Twenty-Two is greatly helpful in sharpening the basic view of the Significator of Mind, Body, and Spirit and, further, throws into starker relief the Transformation and Great Way of Mind, Body, and Spirit complexes.
